Are the following statements true or false? Either prove the statement is true
or provide a counterexample to show it is false.
(a) For all integers a and b, if a . b = 0
b = 0 (mod 6).
(b) For all integers a and b, if a b = 0
b = 0 (mod 8).
(mod 6), then a = 0 (mod 6) or
(mod 8), then a = 0
(mod 8) or
(c) For all integers a and b, if a b = 1 (mod 6), then a = 1 (mod 6) or
b = 1 (mod 6).
(d) For all integers a and b, if ab = 7 (mod 12), then either a = 1 (mod 12)
or a = 7 (mod 12).
